St George Illawarra Canterbury Cup coach Mat Head and Jersey Flegg coach Willie Talau have named their Round 2 teams to play the South Sydney Rabbitohs at Metricon High Performance Centre on Saturday, March 23.
Darren Nicholls will be out for approximately six weeks after fracturing his scapula in the CC Dragons' last-start draw against the Mounties. Eli Levido comes into the side at halfback.
